In 1973, we began our Radio accounting service for foreign merchant vessels, in parallel with the advance of FOC (Flag-of-convenience) vessels of Japan’s shipping industry under the of ‘Kyoritsu Radio Service Co., Ltd.’

Subsequently, in 1980, we were designated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as an Accounting Authority responsible for the collection and calculation of charges related to maritime telecommunications.

Thanks to your support, we have grown to become one of the leading Accounting Authorities in the world. We believe we’ve contributed to the progress of Japan’s shipping industry.

The future of maritime satellite communication is undergoing significant changes, with the emergence of diverse satellite communication systems, such as Starlink and low Earth orbit satellites, challenging the traditional dominance of geostationary satellites like Inmarsat. Embracing this era of transformation, we inherited the satellite communication business of our parent company, Furuno Electric Co., Ltd., in 2022. Now we are committed to providing valuable services not only to commercial vessels but also to fishing vessels, aiming to contribute to society and ensure safe and secure voyages.

In October 2023, as we reached the milestone of our 50th year in operation, we have restarted with new name ‘Marisat Communication Service Inc.’ We take this occasion to go back to our initial principles, we will continue to work diligently as a united team of employees.

We sincerely request your continuous understanding and support.
